My freedom tops leak anyway, so this might even be an improvement...

I loved having smoked glass t-tops on my Camaro SS and having Freedome panels on my Rubi with smoked Lexan or whatever would be nice, you have to like T-tops I guess.

I would love to see the smoked panels identical to the freedom top hardtop panels will all the same latches, moldings, etc. I would be nice to have some sunshine peering through the roof during the winter months when I have the hardtop on! I don't know how difficult that would be to make them or that matter the cost????

I'd definitely buy if the price was reasonable. I have a feeling it would be expensive. Hell, I think the MOPAR hard top is unreasonable.

I heard through the grapevine (From Jeep Engineers) That Jeep was looking to offer "Freedom View" Which was the freedom tops but clear..... It was supposed to be available this summer... I dont see it happening but Id LOVE to get them.


EDIT I found where it was written.. "The freedom tops - I wanna call them "Freedom View" glass tops are in developemnt and will be available - this summer or next fall. Thanks for asking."

So sounds like soon!!!

It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to develop, especially if it were a one piece like a targa top.

Come on Best top, this should be a no brainer.
